France's PM, key ministers to meet student leaders Monday
The French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu will meet with student leaders and education ministers Edouard Geffray and Philippe Baptiste on Monday to address the growing anger among citizens over the state of the country's high schools and the cost of living. The meeting comes after weeks of protests, with tensions escalating to clashes between demonstrators and police.
The protests, which have been ongoing for over a month, have been marked by blockades of schools and demands for better funding and conditions for public services. The government has faced criticism for its heavy-handed response to the demonstrations, resulting in injuries to several teenage protesters and the arrest of thousands.
